Donald Trump’s White House has launched Arcade.Gov, a site with mini-games where you catch and deport immigrants, or use Tetris blocks to build a border wall.

I know that this is potentially a spicy thing to post to this community, but I do think it is relevant to games and gaming. They are advertising it with using likenesses of major gaming brands.

    This is something straight out of a parody movie, and even then, it would sound absurd.

    What the heck is even going on in the US right now.

      America is a fucking joke.

      Those dumb cunts elected a clown whose destroyed the global world order as we know it, for the worse.

      I hope they’re proud that their leader not only rapes children and steals billions for himself, his family, and his friends, but have forsaken any ideals of saving this planet from the oncoming climate apocalypse that’s bearing down on us.

      As a white european, D**** to America.

        This dumb cunt voted for Harris.

        Edit: What I meant was I and many other Americans did not vote for, endorse, or support Trump.

          Of course you vote for the viable non fascist candidate. What else to do, if you do not intend to be a fascist enabler?

            What? I think you misunderstood. I meant I voted for Harris and I don’t like being lumped in with Trump supporters because of my nationality. What did you think I meant?

            Edit: I was upset because it sounded to me like you called all Americans dumb cunts.

      You could slap that same comment on nearly any article about Trump since his entry into politics. We live in a fucking circus.

      The link is to an IGN article, just in case there is any confusion, not the website itself.

      I read a Kotaku article about them. They are basically clones of classic Atari style games with a racist angle.

      Like Snake, but you are an ICE agent collecting “illegals” to deport in a snake line.

      Or a Flappy Bird clone.

    Do they have that one cool game where you play as a 15-year-old child trying to escape Epstein Island, or the other one where you mindlessly black out hundreds of thousands of lines of text while ironically mumbling “fidelity, bravery, integrity” to yourself over and over?

    How is this even legal? They blatantly use styling and brand recognition to imitate popular brands for selling their products.

    Jews Out! Board Game

    Force the Jews beyond the medieval walls and out the city. The first player to rid the city of six Jews wins.

    With illustrations of a ‘typical’ Jewish family on the move accompanied by the text, Off to Palestine!

      no. the worst thing to happen to this world is that we didn’t execute every single nazi and israeli filth the first time around. the second worst thing is that we didn’t make a law that made it illegal to be a nazi. the third worst thing to happen is that we didn’t execute filthy nazis on sight when they popped up in America.

    So they decided that the best way to capture the attention of today’s youth is with clones of games made 30 or 40 years ago. Sure, you know what, good job White House, have a cookie. Everybody clap for how well they understand the children and teenagers of 2026.

      I would not dismiss their influence so cavalierly. The shift right among male youth is very concerning and real.

        They are also working on teenage girls with the “TERF” thing. Pink fascism and SAHM trade wife propaganda is huge on Pinterest.
